The Special Edition line-up is limited to just 200 WRX sedans and 100 WRX STI sedans. For a true custom look, the Special Edition WRX Special Edition feature dark interior trim form the WRX STI, including a black headliner. The cars orange interior stitching on seats, doors and shift boot and custom orange trimmed floor mats. The WRX STI also features front fog lamps.

On sale in spring of 2013, the Special Editions spice-up an already potent line up of AWD sports cars. Featuring Subaru Boxer engines, the WRX and WRX STI models develop 265 HP and 305 HP respectively. Delivering massive bang for the buck, the 2013 WRX Special Edition produces 244 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,000 rpm and running through its standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The 2013 WRX STI Special Edition delivers a rally-inspired driving experience with its 305-horsepower turbocharged BOXER engine, 6-speed manual transmission and exclusive Multi-Mode Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) version of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The WRX STI is also equipped with Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) and a Multi-Mode Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system, the latter featuring a track performance-optimized mode.

It's a shame that we finally get a "Special" model, but it's just cosmetic stuff. Over the years the rest of the world gets limited models with more power, better suspension bits, etc. I can only imagine what dealers are going to try and sell these things for with such a limited number.
